Oriora Encore

Oriora Encore logs every live show you attend and turns it into your Year in Live Music. Never forget a gig again — who you saw, where, and with whom. • Log each show: artist, venue, date, notes • A personal Year in Live Music recap • Your own private concert history • Log it on the way home. Start a live call and just say it — "saw Radiohead at Wembley last night" — and it is in your history before you are through the door. Typing does the same. • Ask it to write your year in live music up, and keep it in a folder in your own GitHub or Google Drive. Your data stays yours — we don't retain it: data passes through Oriora for each AI action and isn't kept by us. You choose where it lives — this device, and optionally your own GitHub or Google Drive.
